    I love this channel! All the historical lectures are so interesting! It's like being in college again without the homework or the crippling debt!

    Dr. Evans is a great lecturer.

    Now approaching the 9:30 min mark and noticing a disturbing similarity between the descriptions of Victorian culture and American prudery.

      the correct word is manliness

    46:24 Yet at the same time, they were more emotional and prone to "lunacy" (madness of the monthly period), "hysteria" (madness from a wandering womb) and a general excess of emotion.

      What about the 'sexual emergency?' Is that not also hysterical behaviour based upon overwhelming hormones?

    Kids are a lot smarter than they're given credit for. You tell them the stork brings the baby they'll say "Oh yeah, that's why you were pregnant for so long."

    God I'm immature. He says sex and I giggle. This is the part where you gasp and say, "Oh my goodness, you're 19? How ghastly!" Yup.

    I feel that it is worse. I see it so often within my own family & that of my hubbys' as well as outside in society. Within my own household it is a different story. My hubby & I do what it is best for us... which in turn does benefit society too. We don't anything that harms or limits the gifts & talents of others that may strengthen our species. We share each others roles, chores, & obligations. My hubby & I are praying for a maid robot who will keep the house clean. ^_^

    Yes in England we have lots of slang words for male and female sexuality. But still I think women got a rough deal in Victorian times, and it even extends to today in some ways.
    By the way I am a male

    If you come to Japan, most of you will be shocked. I am a Japanese person myself, and I am shocked by the emerging standard in my own country.

    Surely the popularity of beards in the middle of the 19th Century was due in part to Britain's involvement in the Crimean War and the Civil War in the U.S. ? Given that shaving was inconvenient and infrequent for soldiers during wartime, surely the men at home copied the look.

    How can a lecture about sex be so soporific?

  • @Ceritra

    I have never heard any of these terms before. I'm more accustomed to the male "player" and female "slut" or "whore," or sometimes "ho". We do also have "man-whore," though.

    Are you working on that? I shouldn't have to ask you that BTW, the correct response is to apologize and promise to work on your sexism. Your response is highly problematic.

    In Japan today, sex for pregnancy and sex for pleasure are both dying habits.
    The mood in today's generation is this - why bother with something so tedious?
    The porn industry and easy access to porn have changed things in Japan.

      That's sad! I understand the reasoning though.

      Not necessarily more people are interested in sexual health, consent etc
      Sex education is still not great so when you look for information the easiest way is porn but you can still find websites with sex ed etc

    that's because it is easy for a woman to sleep with many men, but for a men it's quite a challenge to sleep with many women. are you familiar with the lock-key example?
